Sim Spam: "Unknown" and professors

Ditto, since getting OFB I have a second unknown. And I did manually clean my 'hood of all memories, relations, and wants for unknowns.
Goddammit you're right - my main hood, Little Carping, has an extra unknown in it. And you can't see them in SimBrowser to see if they're unlinked or not. Gah, my fingers are just itching to delete him.
I'm going to have to do the numbers experiment again to see if you always get two or whether this is just a naaasty extra glitch with OFB.

Thanks for the ideas, guys.
CuriousSpurious, your idea about the game regenerating professors seemed like a good one, as it's certainly possible I'd deleted one at some point. However, I've just gone and counted the professors in the original-Uni-spawn ID range, and there are 24, 2 per major including undeclared.
All the professors that I'm spammed with have "Unknown" majors, which may be an extra clue... to something. Who knows what.
I've only got 459 SimDescription entries at the moment, have probably created ~700 Sims in this neighborhood including ones later deleted, but the constant Unknown Sim spam means my instance numbers are up to 0x417 (decimal 1047!) It's crazy stuff.

I wasn't too clear before :P, but that's what could happen if you delete a professor. A new set is spawned, so if you didn't delete all of them, the actual total will be over 24, and not all of them will have a major appointed, or will have more than 2 to one major. At least that's what I remembered seeing. But then you said you counted the "original-Uni-spawn ID range" and they are all there, I don't know what's up with that either. :-\
